You know, I've got a theory. I'm not condoning what Mr. West did in any way, but I wonder if there would be the same level of outrage and outright hate if he had done the same thing to, say, Rosie O'Donnel. I'm starting to believe that the degree of anger is directional proportional to our perception of the 'victim' (and the perpetrator). When you look at the clip, was it what he did or was it who he did it to? He didn't just ruin someone's moment, he dared to ruin the moment of our squeaky-clean, deliciously innocent, little fair-haired country princess. Unforgivable. Next thing you know, he'll be crying discrimination.

Mind you, this is just a hunch.
